Blankets for Bangalore Gurukula

Some time back, I thought of sending some blankets over to Srila Gurudeva's Gurukula in Bangalore. I mentioned this project to some devotees at the temple. Gowri didi immediately responded by buying 2 new blankets. Then, Gadadhar prabhu and his wife also contributed. 2 new blankets. With the help of my mother, who came up with a quilt like blanket and also Vallabhi Kanta prabhu and Sudevi didi, we managed to collect about 17 blankets! They were sent and received by Sripad Bhaktivedanta Dandi Maharaja in Bangalore.

Special thanks to all the devotees who came forward and helped out.

If you wish to help the gurukula in anyway possible, do take a look below:

Aid us to build a better tomorrow for them. Nourish these young, innocent souls. Help us & BECOME THE INSTRUMENTS OF A DIVINE PLAN.

In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time.

Purport by Om Vishnupada 108 Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

When we speak of transcendental knowledge, we do so in terms of spiritual understanding. As such, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Ignorance is the cause of our bondage, and knowledge is the cause of our liberation. This knowledge is the mature fruit of devotional service, and when one is situated in transcendental knowledge, he need not search for peace elsewhere, for he enjoys peace within himself. In other words, this knowledge and peace culminate in Krishna consciousness. That is the last word in the Bhagavad-gita.
